With all the other problems in our city, I think this is an unreported phenomenon. I have been nearly driven off the road on the I-10 and I-610 by these groups of high speed motorcycle riders cutting in and out of traffic at incredible speeds. These are not the traditional Harley guys who are generally no problem in traffic. These are very young riders on racing bikes (Suzuki, Kawasaki, etc.), usually racing each other on city streets and interstates. It is surprising that more do not end up like this one.

The great thing is that it is none of your business whom Tulane chooses as its president, or what Tulane's administration chooses to do in subsidizing their athletic programs. Beyond that, duh, the whole point of an on-campus stadium is to INCREASE REVENUE so they will not have to subsidize them.

To me this is a brave, visionary move by the Tulane leadership, and those two bit city council people who stand in the way are going to be steamrolled in the next election. In fact I dare say that if this issue had come up before the recent at-large council election, Stacey Head would not have won.

I don't understand why the people with the Utah Jazz are so dead set against semi-swapping with New Orleans. The deseret/honeybee is a ubiquitous symbol in Utah and the LDS Church (Utah was originally called Deseret, large SLC newspaper is the Deseret News, for example), so calling them the Bees, and calling their home arena the Hive (hornets live in a nest, by the way, not a hive) would actually make sense.

Thanks Times Picayune for this startling information - Steve Scalise is always my go-to guy for a fair and objective opinion about anything involving President Obama. I hope you will go back to him again when the Supreme Court decides the "unconstitutional government takeover of health care" isn't unconstitutional.

From Wikipedia: Adherents of the 9/11 Truth movement (those who believe individuals within the US government was behind 9-11) come from diverse social backgrounds.[1][22][25] The movement draws adherents from people of diverse political beliefs including liberals, conservatives, and libertarians.[3][19][25] A 2010 study of Facebook users affiliated with a 9/11 Truth group known as "We Are Change" found that most members of this group are males in their late 20s. Most members of this group are involved in right-wing politics.[26]

Obama did not take credit for increased domestic production, only pointing out that GOP is full of it when they say that increases in gas prices are because he has CUT domestic production. Big difference. But then, as the article points out, facts are not your side's strong suit, right?
